Zhao Hong, who was ordered to come to Dongguan Street, looked at the scene in front of him for a while. Countless refugees have crowded the originally spacious streets of Dongguan Street, and all kinds of refugees, old and young, all have a common characteristic, all of them are skinny and ragged. It is really not easy to transfer these people, after all, it is tens of thousands of people, and it is difficult to dispatch.

On the side of the street, there were several sheds erected by the entourage of the prince who were making porridge, and Zhao Hong suddenly found that the people who were receiving the porridge were lining up in an orderly manner, and the faces that had already received them had recovered a little bit of complexion, and they were hugging their families together to keep warm. Zhao Hong was amazed, since ancient times, refugees are the most difficult to manage, people are so hungry that they even dare to rebel, these people are all extremely hungry, and they actually lined up. Zhao Hong and his subordinates were originally one of the pro-army protectors of the Beijing camp, and King Fu was in Luoyang during the Wanli period, and the Wanli Emperor transferred the elite of this elite to King Fu as a guard. When he was fighting everywhere in Liaodong Guanzhong, where the war started, the people inevitably fled from home, so he had never seen such a conscious refugee, so he turned his head and said to his guards: "Henan Mansion is worthy of being the land of the Central Plains, you see that these people are about to starve to death, and you know how to queue up to receive porridge." ”

The guards sneered disapprovingly: "My lord, you have lifted them up, you pay attention to the side of each queue." ”

Only then did Zhao Hong notice that next to the long queue of each refugee, there was a servant in a green coat and a silk hat walking around holding a waist knife. It turned out that although the status of the officials was not high, they were even despised by the doctors. But in fact, they are extremely powerful among ordinary people, they take people at every turn, lock people, and anyone who sees them will be afraid of three points. The common people respect him as the fast catcher and the catcher. When Zhao Hong saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, and the matter explained by the little prince fell on this group of officials. Summoned a few of the leaders to catch the heads, all the heads, and ordered them to go down. As soon as everyone heard that it was the order of King Fu's son, how powerful King Fu's Mansion was in Luoyang, who dared not to listen, hurriedly started to move, shouting and driving away, this is their profession, and they are handy to do.

At this time, his own soldiers had already found Shen Muhong, who was named by the prince to see, and poor Mr. Shen queued up for a long time, and finally got hot porridge, and was feeding the two children, and he didn't drink a sip himself. was pulled out by a few GIs.

Shen Muhong is the heaviest on weekdays, and he can see and smell the hot porridge with rice fragrance just now, but he can't eat it, but at this time, his stomach is already rumbling, which is really insulting, and he asked angrily: "I don't know what to find Shen?" ”

The little prince wanted to see him by name, and he must have said that Zhao Hong did not dare to slack off, and said: "Mr. Shen, the little prince wants to use Ying'en Temple to settle the fleeing people, and ordered me to come and escort him, and before leaving, he must see Mr. by name, please come with me." ”

Shen Muhong was overjoyed when he heard it, he was a typical ancient Confucian student, reading the books of sages, and paying attention to the avenue of "my house is alone and frozen to death". Fleeing all the way, Shen Muhong knew that for them, hunger and cold were deadly. Even if everyone eats gruel, many people will freeze to death at night. I heard that as soon as they fled into Luoyang, some people went to Ying'en Temple to seek accommodation, but they were all beaten out, and a few lives were lost. I can't imagine that King Xiaofu's reputation is so unbearable, and he has such a benevolent heart, which is really terrifying.

Because Shen Muhong insisted on taking his two children, Zhao Hong had to find a carriage, and the two children were still wrapped in the precious cloak of the little prince, and Zhao Hong picked them up and put them in the car, and ordered a personal soldier to drive the car, and he rode a horse with Shen Muhong first. As soon as these things were delayed, when they arrived at the King Kong Hall of Ying'en Temple, they returned home to report the news, and Zhang Hao, who was farther away than them, arrived first.

Zhang Hao returned home and didn't say a word about the refugees on the road, only saying that the prince had a relationship with the Buddha and wanted to live in Ying'en Temple for a few days, and the princess was overjoyed when he heard it. It was noon, and I thought that my precious son hadn't eaten yet, and he might not be used to eating the food in the temple. He packed his lunch before he was ready, and told Zhang Hao to bring it. When Zhao Hong took Shen Muhong into the hall, Zhu Yousong just opened the lunch box and prepared to eat. He had a great affection for this scholar who was neither humble nor arrogant, and immediately got up to greet them when he saw them.

Poor Mr. Shen is already hungry at the moment. Although he is extremely important, he is not a pedantic person, and he immediately asked for the dishes and chopsticks generously, and said: "Don't hide it from the little prince, I am already hungry at this time." ”

Zhu Yousong hurriedly asked someone to take a pair of dishes and chopsticks from the dining hall, although Shen Muhong was facing delicious delicacies at this time, he had no intention of tasting them, and listened to Zhu Yousong say while eating: "Mr. Shen, the weather is so cold, I want to place everyone in Ying'en Temple, but the number of people is too much, I really don't know how to start, and now I don't have a clue at all, what kind of opinion does Mr. have." ”

Shen Muhong didn't care about anything at the moment, and said while eating: "The sage said that it is better to give fish than to give fish, Henan Mansion has suffered three years of drought and three years of locust plagues, and several prefectures and counties have long been eaten and starved all over the place. There was also a rebellion by the second king of Shaanxi, and the exiles entered the customs, and we fled to Luoyang for a while and could not dare to return to our hometown. If tens of thousands of people sit and eat nothing, it is not a long-term solution after all. “

Zhu Yousong nodded, deeply agreed with the last sentence he said, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is there any good way to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Shen Muhong is different from Zhu Yousong, a science man, and different from the nerd who is dedicated to being an official and studying the eight stocks, he reads the books of sages and sages, and learns the knowledge of self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world. As a result, there was a bit of a delay in the imperial examination, and in the end, I could only teach in the countryside to make a living. Today is the first time in my life that I have the opportunity to use what I have learned in my chest, as if I have scratched an itch, I stood up, and said in a low voice: "Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, the place where the Yellow Emperor is the king, there are many wealthy gentry living in Luoyang, the little prince is the prince of the prince, half of the master of Luoyang City, you can call on the wealthy families in Luoyang to donate old clothes and surplus food to save the lives of refugees." ”

Shen Muhong paused, seeing Zhu Yousong couldn't help nodding, he felt even more happy, the kind of joy of showing his life's talents, even made him a little drunk, and he was in good spirits at the moment, and continued: "This time I escaped, the nearby big counties are also ten rooms and nine empty, there are many good doctors and skilled craftsmen among the refugees, and many of them have a skill, which can encourage everyone to make a living in Luoyang and support themselves. I have heard that King Fu built a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, so he may as well select men in the prime of life from the people who have fled, and as for the old, weak, women and children, he can also make a fire to cook and make the best use of them. ”

Zhu Yousong nodded secretly, this teacher is right, and if you think about it carefully, you can do a lot. In my previous life, I was a little prejudiced against ancient readers, thinking that they were all pedantic nerds, but now it seems that I am generalizing. The two discussed some details again, and Shen Muhong also found that although this little prince didn't understand some of the simple truths, he had unique insights in some subtleties, which was also impressive.

Many years later, Zhu Yousong asked Shen Muhong: "I brought you from Longmu to the center of this temple for political affairs, and decided to plan the world, can it be regarded as a king's grace?" ”

Shen Muhong replied with a smile: "In the minister's opinion, Jun En is just a pair of dishes and chopsticks in Ying'en Temple. ”
